thanks mate!

Can anyone recognise this brand of guage? and where they can be brought from? my car has a holder with houses 3 guages I have water temp and oil pressure, id like to get a matching boost guage to fit the missing hole cheers

I picked up what was left of a toyota ga61 celica 2000gt on saturday, it was still rolling and FREE!! droped out the T series rear end that was making horrible noises and about to go and swapped in the 4.3 F series rear end from the celica 2000gt, now its time for a no slip diff and skids on, iv done 2000kms with no problems other than turbo oil feed spliting so that got replaced next on the cards is getting an exhaust made as it is still being choked by the 3teu factory exhaust, then front mount + boost controller fitted and push the brim of reliablity of the ct20 by winding boost to 10psi pity this bad boy is keeping me distracted from my starlet,

My mate only owned it about 2 months he picked it up off trademe cheap in dunedin and he planned to on sell it, the person who owned it previous had had it 7 years, came with service history and original japanese toyota business cards ! it has a spot of rust in the bottom of 1 front guard and a little bit in the back under the bumper but it is a really tidy car

This is my 1982 Toyota carina ta63 which I've had for about 2 months now, I quickly sold a mint ke70 I had just brought as a reliable daily driver to snap up this carina my mate was selling as he needed $$$ turned out to be the best decision ever! its nearly clocked over 170kms now and I got it completely standard fitted with the 3teu/t50 with T series drum brake independent rear suspension, I then purchased a 3tgte/w55 package that sheepers had lying around , then brought another rummy 3tgte/w55 from a ta63 celica being wrecked and have put 1 good motor with 1 good box which got installed this weekend just been, It goes great and im over the moon! The basic specs 3tgte Rebuilt with aftermarket pistons some time ago with new big ends before install as 1 has slight wear so why not, excellent condition factory ct20 turbo water and oil cooled brand new 5 puk Exceedy clutch w55 gearbox 15" rays engineering wheels with 195/45r15s short shocks and cut springs, chassis rails sits about 70mm off the ground, TA63 GTT front seats This car will shortly be full ta63 GTT spec trim (F series rear), I plan to do a bit of drag racing and cone days etc in this car heres some pics add a good engine Add some big ends That ^^ is Marlon hes a 3tgte guru, hes got 4x TE71 gt's all wof/rego spec running 3tgte/2tgeu he could have wired it up blind folded, I was amazed at how fast he had it running,

I spent a weekend there about 3 years ago, we ended up with the unit 23 drift cars there and half of kaikouras boy racer population turned up, turned out to be an awesome day where alot of people gave it a go, ill definitely be keen as mustard, the track is is very rough as said above and slammed cars had a very slow trek in,

Well its been a while since an update, Iv now shifted places so have somewhere sheltered to work on my starlet, everything I dont need has been removed, all bolts were cracked for the 1st time .There is NO rust, the car is pretty much flawless , The engine loom has been removed to be cut down and wired into starlet, gearbox split from motor reveals a mint as factory nissan clutch but I will be replacing this with a heavy duty exceedy in the next few weeks, the motor is ready to go straight in, then I will have so cut a hole further back in the tunnel for the shifter and modify the gearbox crossmember to suit, then diff upgrade will begin, couple of pics I haven't even cleaned the engine bay I will be taking extra extra care to keep all paint intact and not chip or scratch while motor is being installed got wheels finished and tyres on them, bit of modivation
